    Hi Everybody,

    Question # 1 - PYT Theme only offers 3 color choices for the sidebars. Is there a workaround for this to choose other colors?

    Question # 2 - I've read that 600 x 600 is the ideal image size to upload to blog posts. However, my images look extremely small when viewing my posts on a desktop. But they are a good size on my mobile devices, such as my iPhone. How can I get the images to show up larger on the desktop view?

    Thank you!
    Pam

    Pam,
    You should be able to modify the colors via the css to whatever you like.

    600 x 600 px is a pretty good sized image. The frownies image, for instance, on your website is 654 x 825 and it appears plenty large on my desk top. Perhaps your site is set to display the thumbnail on your blog post rather than the full size image. That would not be surprising. In which case, maybe you want to make the thumbnails larger.

    Hope that helps.

    Thanks Matt.

    Can you give me a quick tutorial as to how to change the colors via the CSS?

    Thank you!

    Hi Pam,
    The best way to handle that will be to have a look at your site in Firefox, hover over the color you want to change, right click and choose inspect element. That will allow you to view what the CSS styling is for that element, or any other on your page for that face. The long box on the left tells you what you are looking at, and on the right it tells you what the styling is for the element, and in fact on what line to find it in your CSS. You can make changes right there and see live how they will appear in your site. If you are able to work on the CSS with a text editor, you can just look for the line where the styling is and change it to what you dicovered in the inspector. Otherwise, you can just copy the changes from the inspector and go ahead and copy them into your CSS using the Editor under Appearance in the wordpress dashboard.

    Hope that helps!
    Matt
